Well put. Unless you want to be angry without reason it's a waste of time. Back in 2019 I went social media/ online dating free. Had more fun and better partners than I could ever imagine. Also boosted my income significantly

Very interesting. I prefer flutter to react any day of the week, but react literally change the game for front end programming. Angular was hard to use, and while I've never been a great react programmer it's relatively easy to ge

>societal pressure to be in a relationship is real. Thanks for saying this. I had a partner who was divorced in 2019 as well, she really made it seem like she stayed in multiple crappy marriages to look good. I'm grateful for a safe

While not nearly as serious, I found myself more focused on work after a breakup back in 2019 . This focus was very good for me though and neeted a 80k pay increase. However , I find myself not particularly wanting to get into a relationshi

Just my personal observation, I think Dropbox is the perfect example of a company whose time has passed. Between Google drive, and OneDrive being pushed by Microsoft, Dropbox just can't do things all that much better to justify most pe

Using social media at all, feels very risky. No matter what you say it can be taken out of context, or the context will change within the next decade and you can be made out to be a monster. I was actually able to find tons of friends and p

So I'm guessing there's a handful of professorship positions, of pure mathematics and getting the published papers. And everyone else kind of just gets normal jobs in the private sector. I think a lot of quants come from PhD mathe

I'm stupid , but what exactly do mathematicians do ? I'd assume economists are a significant portion of them ???

You know, I think Corona finally did it. You can get plenty of talented people without paying for an SV office. My dream involves full remote work for senior level devs with junior devs having to rotate in for the first few months or so

>And no, fishing without a permit isn’t a felony anywhere in the US. Your 19 and you run, you get caught and the local DA adds a few charges. Life ruined. This of course depends on how rich your parents are. If your parents can bail you

I don't think social media networks can scale at all. During quarantine I'm a part of several Online Social circles, which are basically bi-weekly zoom calls to crack jokes on. The owner of the group still needs to ban people from

Almost all of those come with an arrest record which can stop you from getting a decent job. Just because you can get 3 months for a felony charge, doesn't mean you'll ever be able to work again. We need a system to get rid of mos

Society needs to have something between jaywalking and attempted murder. Right now if you fish without a permit in the wrong place you're a felon and you will never be able to get a decent job for the rest of your life. The entire reas

This is pretty sad, the four years of college easily will be the easiest years of socialization and dating a young person will ever have. To have at a minimum two of these years taken from you, is to lose something you'll never get bac

Are you at all disappointed in the lack of discipline in younger programmers. I know when JavaScript first started to become a server-side language, I worked with a slightly older programmer, he was maybe 40 in 2014, and he hated it. I tend

At least my plan assumes I won't have a family. Kids make this nearly impossible. While I can up and move to Costa Rica tomorrow( assuming their wasn't a pandemic ) , you can't exactly just tell your wife and kids to pack it

I'd love to have free time to pursue other hobbies like working on video games, and making music. If I had the million dollar cushion, and then maybe I only made like $500 or $600 a month with my hobbies that would be awesome. Life is

Move to a country where I can live off the 40k -> 60k a year an interest or whatnot. This basically means either Southeast Asia, or some parts of Latin America. Asian languages tend to be extremely hard, and it might be a lot easier to s

As long as I can Bill my hours, I don't care all that much. I find smaller or more experimental companies to be much more unstable, and in my thirties I just want something stable and nice so I can save money and retire with a bit over

Would a hard drive even last that long. I hope that we have something, something like the seed bank which saves the most important data of the past. Would kind of suck if no one had a SATA in 500 years though

6. Is by far the best career advice. Instead of fighting and arguing all day, and getting fired anyway you can often just walk away from the situation. In fact I would say that's the only real conflict resolution that ever works.( In a

Funny Story. When I went to London for the first time I meet a ridiculously attractive Swedish Arab girl. She had mentioned she really wanted to visit America, but with the recent election of Donald Trump she was a bit scared. Not all of us

Would love an option to remove photos. Employment discrimination is absolutely rampant, and I would hate for someone who is perceived by Western society to be more attractive to be given a leg up on platforms like this. Scary enough the fir

For me I've been very happy with my Facebook purchases

I actually did find a few products which I used for at least a short while, on Facebook. If I had to guess, hyper targeted digital ad spend is very effective, but you'd have to sell very high margin products to come out ahead.

>where you are degrading at other skills while doing so (making your future employability less certain). I taught myself Python a few years back and greatly increased my income. I don't expect any job to improve my skillset .
